This feels like an extremely important insight. Failing to reach a goal is… merely a failure. But denying that the goal exists and is worth trying to achieve, puts the entire project at risk. Especially if the people have a social power to make actually trying to achieve the goal uncool. (And the cool thing is… socializing. The human default.)
Basically a difference between a sinner and a heretic. Hate the sin, love the sinner, burn the heretic.
